FROM OUR CHAIRMANDear AMM Community,

2019 has been an exciting year of envisioning possibilities for the Museum and our community while embarking on the implementation of our 2019 – 2022 AMM Strategic Plan. This four-year plan, developed in collaboration with our Board of Directors, Museum staff, and community stakeholders will guide our effort to address our four strategic priorities:

Transform the Museum & Park: Building new exhibits to explore our local maritime heritage and interactive attractions that engage and educate visitors at our future state-of-the-art museum in historic McNasby’s and on the new second campus at Ellen O. Moyer Nature Park.

Build Capacity for Growth: Strengthening our infrastructure, staff, volunteer, and partnership capacity to meet community-building opportunities before us.

Expand Reach & Relevance: Expanding and enriching our youth and adult programs, as well as ensuring that our programs are accessible to all.

Ensure Sustainability: Ensuring AMM continues to grow while maintaining our efforts to meet our vision and mission goals through financial sustainability.

I want to convey my appreciation to many of you who have generously supported AMM’s enormous progress this past year. An update of these achievements and plans for AMM’s transformation are outlined in this Annual Report.

People will be amazed over the next year as our vision for the Museum and Park comes alive for visitors of all ages. We thank you for your continued investment in our mission and growth.

I look forward to seeing you at the new exhibits in the Museum and at the re-vitalized and beautiful waterfront Park in 2020.

Thank you again,

Carol B. Sisco, Ph.D.Chairman of the Board
